there's nothing wrong with Aran jumpers.. I've knit a few in my time..... great warm cosy things they are too.. but I have to agree with the others who said that they are too warm to even think of wearing on stage... The Clancy's must have been sweltered!!

we've been going through this problem with our local folk club.. the name scares people off.... even though we are not "strictly" folk, in fact anything is welcome and usually joined in with... so I have recently advertised us as a "music club"....

so far I've had interest expressed from a heavy metal guitarist (who is happy to play acoustically) and an operatic singer...... our next meeting should be interesting!! Maybe I'll try "Acoustic" next......
